Wanda Sykes Performs at White House Correspondents Dinner

HeadlineMay 11, 2009

And the White House Correspondents Association dinner was held Saturday in Washington. The comedian Wanda Sykes provided the evening’s entertainment.

Wanda Sykes: “It is truly an honor to be here. It really is. I keep getting asked the same question: you know, are you nervous? Are you nervous? I’m like, 'With this administration, what is there to be nervous about?' You know, if I do a good job, I get great press; and if I screw it up royally, Tim Geithner will give me a bonus.”
